2. IDEALondon is a striking space that fosters innovation,
and the community that surrounds it, from the heart of
Tech City. Run by a world-class trio of partners – Cisco,
DC Thomson and UCL- to tangibly and actively support
entrepreneurs working in London and so contribute to
the growth of the UK economy as a whole. IDEALondon
achieves this through a busy calendar of community
focussed events and a programme for startups who
are solving hard problems through technology.
”
IDEALondon is a crucial addition to Tech City, providing bespoke support,
tailored to the individual startup companies who reside in it, through mentoring
and a strategic acceleration programme. With the support of the three partners
involved – Cisco, DC Thomson and UCL – who draw on their expertise to drive
commercial opportunities for the startups, it is a unique and unrivalled institution
providing...an environment where they can flourish with expert help and support.
Lisa Adcock from Cambridge Wireless
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and
don’t take equity which means we can be flexible in
supporting businesses based solely on what’s best for
them, while fostering introductions and collaboration
with the wider innovation community. IDEALondon
operates a carefully crafted and responsive Post
Accelerator programme with refreshingly light-touch,
high-relevance support to enable digital startups to
flourish.
Neither a
co-working
space nor an
accelerator,
IDEALondon
is a Post
Accelerator.

Blue Skies Space Ltd. “crowd-funds” research satellites for space science from
scientists worldwide. We provide within 3 years satellites built using existing
technology to a global community of scientists who pay for access (telescope
time). Space agencies work on long time scales (10-20yrs), and many users
are excluded from accessing data. We build our satellites at a tenth of the cost
and in a third of the time scale. Our first product, Twinkle, is designed for exo-
planet spectroscopy, the fastest growing field in astronomy and currently not
addressed by major space agencies.

EnergyDeck is the ‘Google Analytics for Buildings’. Our platform works across
a wide range of asset types and building performance metrics. EnergyDeck
imports all relevant data directly from meters and IoT enabled sensors, analyses
it and automatically identifies optimisation opportunities. The majority of existing
buildings - even modern offices and retail spaces - are operated inefficiently.
Capturing the energy savings potential alone represents an opportunity of
$100bn globally. The overall market size is even larger taking into account
possible health, well-being and productivity increases.

Hoxton Analytics has invented a new in-store analytics solution that’s simple,
accurate and non-invasive – important when many current solutions face
privacy issues. It provides retailers with accurate footfall and demographic
information which allows retailers to make better decisions on opening hours,
staff management, displays, stocking and marketing, to drive revenue. How
does it work? It’s a small device in the doorway that generates the data based
on images of the shoes people wear as they walk past. It’s impersonal, novel,
and accurate.
